Shield Cat – the Game!

Shield Cat is a game starring Lance the otter! He is a mail courier for the Cat Kingdom, delivering official letters and packages. One day, Lance wakes up and finds that the Cat Kingdom is in chaos. What’s worse, his friends seem to be responsible! What dark magic could be at work here? Lance will need all the help he can get on his adventure, both to save his friends and to save the Kingdom!

Abilities

Along the way, Lance will find abilities that can help him on his quest. You can equip and upgrade these abilities to enhance Lance’s strength and allow him to use more tools on his quest. Here are just some of the many abilities you can learn:

• Tubular Twister: Lance’s spin attack! Use this move to get over big gaps, attack enemies, hit gears and levers, open treasure chests, and much more. Lance will never get dizzy, so use it as much as you like!
• Shield: Lance can throw his shield to hit enemies from far away. He can also use it to solve puzzles, and upgrade it to give it more distance and range when he throws it.
• Cards: Lance throws a continual stream of cards from a seemingly endless deck. He can use this ability to take down multiple enemies at once.
• Dagger: Lance can aim this dagger and hit enemies from a great distance. This ability is good for people who like stealth – enemies wont even know what hit them!
• Boomerang: Lance throws a boomerang which circles around him, protecting him from incoming enemy attacks. He can also use this to hit things around corners that he couldn’t otherwise get to.
• Passive Abilities: You can find and equip passive abilities which grant you bonuses as long as they’re equipped, such as increased movement speed, surviving enemy combos, increasing the drop rate of goodies, and more! Be warned though – Equipping these passive abilities takes from your magic for as long as they’re equipped. Watch your magic meter!
• Upgrades: Lance can find upgrades to his health, magic, and attack that permanently boost his stats.

Collectibles

During your quest, you will find several types of collectibles! Here are some of the collectibles you can find:

• Pretty Petals: The currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to buy abilities and upgrades at shops.
  Fish Scales: Each stage has a fixed number of Fish Scales. Use these to access new locations by train. Can you find all of them in each stage?
• LANCE Letters: Each stage has 5 LANCE letters for you to find. However, the stages are pretty big – you’ll have to check every nook and cranny if you want to find these!
• Cat Coin: Special currency of the Cat Kingdom. Use these to open doors and gain access to new areas.
• Key: Each stage has a set of keys that are only useful for that stage. If you find a locked door, keep an eye out for a key!
• Treasure Chest: Find treasure chests scattered throughout the land. It is a mystery what each one contains, but it (most likely) will aide you on your quest! If you find an ability you already have, you can sell it at the shop for Pretty Petals!

Locations

During your quest, you will visit many locations throughout the Cat Kingdom. Here are just some of the places you’ll visit:

• Cat Castle Town: The central town of the Cat Kingdom. Here you will find many shops with items that will help you on your journey, as well as mini-games to pass the time with.
• Roo Express: The train that serves the Cat Kingdom. Ride this train to get around to different areas!
• Underground Forest: A place underground with plenty of trees and views of the sky above.
• Mt. Bophades: A volcanic mountain in the snowy north.

More locations are planned, but don’t have official names yet.
